Crystal ball tells you that in the somewhat near future you will become a star. Little does it mention *how*- on further investigation into the subject you discover that the only ways you will become famous are (and let's say for the purpose of the thread...you were to pick one)-

1. Become a Reality TV Star - Your 15 minutes of fame...no credibility or respect, if you're lucky you might clinch a workout video and a pantomime casting. You've sold yourself out to Tabloids and NOW magazine.

2. Become a crossdresser- You're reknowned for causing a stir at premiere parties and award shows for your eccentric dress sense- you wear clothes that were intended for the opposite sex. When it comes down to it- no one quite knows why you're famous. But who cares...you think you look good.

3. Creator of a new internet virus. You've created a virus that's eaten it's way into the hearts of millions of computers in the Western world. This method of fame is likely to result in a hefty jail sentence if caught.

4. Become town crier and be featured in a new documentary - Yorkshire and the wonders of its' world. The mass press and hysteria relating towards the show and your cameo within it creates instant fame for yourself...you are suddenly offered a seat in various talk show hosts' chairs as suddenly the whole world needs to know more about you.

Which will it be??
Discuss. :thumbsup:

*groans*

If I had to pick one ... I would go for #1.

Credibility and joe publics respect mean very little to me ... but then saying that ... my privacy does.

I certainly don't want the world needing to know more about me ... YUK (#4).

#1 is best for me ... cos it's just a flash in the pan then people forget all about me ... and it could help my bank balance.

Other than that ... I would not at all like to be famous ... I think it stinks and can think of much better things to do with my life ... smash the crystal ball ... power is in people not objects ... well ok ... maybe it's in both ... but then maybe it's all one in the same.

Deinitely number four.

I would like to hammer it from my roots. To spring upwards and reach for the bog chain.

...Yes! Tell amusing life-based stories and share and push the gentle, gentle ripples and ebbs and floes of my sometimes mundane life to the masses whilst cross-dressing.

I will answer this post in the style of a typical geeky internet user with no moral fibre:

i'd create a virus. I might be hated by many but i'd also gain the respect of the l33t (elite, for all you brainers out there). I'd amaze the world with the complexity of my codeslinging and i'd crack the tightest walls in the world.

To be honest, if it was me, i'd be the reality tv star. I'm such a media whore, and i fit the stereotype; pretentious, arrogant and with an absolutely huge superiority complex. This is assuming i'd be a docu-soap star, not on the godawful Big Brother or some other total dross.

Wilf

I'd go for number 4.

1 I wouldn't want to do because people might hate you for it.
2 I just wouldn't want to do.
3 is far too geeky and I wouldn't want to do time

4 is the best of a bad bunch, but at least you'd actually be well known for a specific purpose and not just because you're a cross dresser or starred in a reality TV show.

Well I've regularly humiliated myself in all manner of costumes and even to the point of losing all bar my skivvies, albeit for various charitable causes so I think it'd have to be...

Door number 2. please Bob..

Just don't make me wear a thong... damn those things bind!! :o

:thumbsup:

Yeah, number 2.

Totally. I did a fund raising cross-dress thing a couple of years ago: Little dress, big red rock wig and a big furry-collared coat - and I dont mind saying, I looked good!

I'd opt for sectret option number 5... become a serial killer :twisted:


Just kiddin folks... I'm too nice really! ;)

Patrick Bateman in training eh DaBouncer?

I had thought about making that option #5 hehe :D

American Psycho is my all time Fav movie.

Patrick Bateman... what a guy!
"Touch me again and you'll draw back a stump" Quality:thumbsup:

Hmmm... if I was being honest I'd probably go for number 1, as I too am a media whore, but my conscience says to go for number 4, cos you'd get the same level of local exposure, without all the national press picking at your life... just remembered that actually, I wouldn't want them to find out most of my past, so probably 4!! excuse my ramblings - can't make decisions today!

"I have to return some videotapes."

Class!! :thumbsup:

My fave film also...although you shouldn't go around telling everyone that they'll think you're insane...heh...good.:)

Have either of you seen "Chopper"? I prefered it to American Psycho...

I'm sorry, but you cant compare Chopper to American Psycho.

Although Chopper is a true story isnt it?

Chooper is a good film , but you cannot compaire the two.

"Here I am bloody illiterate, can't spell and I've written a best seller" - Chopper Reed

----
Back on American Psycho tho:

"That's a very expensive glass of Chardonnay you're NOT drinking there."

And my all time fav quote from American Psycho:

"Sabrina, don't just stare at it. Eat it."

I'm gonna have to watch that movie tonight now!

Personally I'd pick....... none of the above :D

Reality TV shows suck, contrary to popular belief I'm too straight for cross dressing, and I'm not loud enough for town crying.

I'd pick #2...definitely...I reckon I could start a new trend or better yet revitalise the 1980's...dignity intact :thumbsup:

What about creating a computer virus rich? you didn't mention that! Are you hiding something?:rolleyes:

I would be best suited to a town crier. I have a big mouth that is loud!

Strange though as people think i would look good in a dress......I will shut up now:blush: :lol:

So is a crossderssing town crier available starchild?
Like your idea of the 80's revival, a crossdressing town crier singing Bananarama....Hmmmm, only for charity and fame though!

Personally Id go for number 2, If Eddie baby can do it so can I, and I'd make Man at C+A look good! :P :P :P :loopy:
Not Y-fronts tho....would prefer a nice simple boxer, let the air flow freely :wink:
xxx

I'd go for #2 just to improve my figure.

the thought of all that creaking whalebone is a bit much - I gather that there some modern materials that do the job.

Have to be 4, coz i'd love to do the shouting. HaHa.

Can't be bothered to discuss it properly though - sorry.

Though I should take the opportunity to moan about Reality TV and the nightmare Peter Andre 'Insaneia' singing which now fills my office........ :rolleyes:

That's nice to know!

I've done the Pantomime Dame thing, so I can cross cross-dressing off the list.
After a week or two of MyDoom sending millions of e-mails to my in box at work this week, I don't think virus distribution is my thing!
Having the perfect face for radio eliminates a Reality TV show for me.
Being the shy, retiring type that leaves me with Town Crier!

Oyez, Oyez

I think you posted it 3 times too.

Did you know my mum (bless her soul!) took me to see the rocky horror show when I was about 14.

I didn't do the full cross dress thing, so much as tart myself up in proto-goth finery. (rather fortunately there are no pictures)

She knew a good thing when she saw it.

The sad fact is that Richard O'Brien never made much out of it at all, even when it was appropriated for the ghastly film.

I think discarding all gender specifics for clothes is the right thing to do, but it would require a fundamental rewiring of the way we think of our appearance.

A tall hairy man with anchor tattoos on his bulging forearms used to come in to the butchers (where I worked) wearing a short, gauzy sundress and slingbacks. If he wanted to wear something more 'feminine' a think a nice 80s jumpsuit might have been more his style.

We had someone who sounds like that who came into Spar when I worked there! that was an endurance trial I can tell ya! :thumbsup: also saw my very first cross dresser in town a few weeks back, he was wearing very tight jeans a fitted leather jacket, high heels and fantastic make up!
Woof! I was very impressed! and slightly jealous, trust a man to look better in womens clothes than I do!!! :P :P :P

Hmmm, i think i'd have to go for #2 if i'd have to choose one.

I'm tempted to pick #1, but after seeing all those horrible people on this years big brother... i'd rather wear a dress!

Id do the cross dresser one because i know i look gorgeous in a dress.

I'd go for something completely different. My headline would be "I was married to the Queen's assasin" or maybe I was married to Tony Blair's assisin. If only Mr Godzilla would bite the bullet.

Wearing men's clothes would be no hardship, so the cross-dressing option sounds rather attractive. I think I'd go for creating the computer virus though; if only for the fantastically highly paid job I'd get as a computer security consultant on release from jail.
